Women’s Single Age Bests from 2009 Chevron Houston Marathon

In addition to Ethiopia’s Teyba Erkesso dropping the course and state marathon records of last year’s two-time winner Dire Tune, the 26-year-old also snared the state’s single age record that had been held for 22 years by Norway’s Bente Moe.

Five other state single age marks went by the wayside during last Sunday’s marathon, including a pair that were held by New York’s Wen-Shi Yu.

Two of this year’s local invited runners – Houston’s Barbara Stoll and Sugar Land’s Donna Sterns – each grabbed their first state single age records.
